  Why I Hate The Celestine Prophecy
We have in The Celestine Prophecy not a novel, but simply an artless tract conveying the author's guiding message for foundering humanity; it is on the merits of these ideas alone that one must judge this book and its popularity.
The essence of Redfield's message is that the universe is made up of energy which is evolving into ever higher and higher forms or states of vibration: pure energy to hydrogen atoms to multivalent atoms to molecules to organic matter to life to humanity and eventually to some state of intelligent transcorporeal being.
I find The Celestine Prophecy bothersome because it lacks any depth at all; it is a philosophical wading pool, full of children's laughter and sparkling sunshine and bright pictures of pretty fish and piss-warmed water.

 The Watchman Expositor: The Celestine Prophecy
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, is fast becoming the top commercial publishing event of the year.
The New Age philosophy espoused in The Celestine Prophecy is not very "new." It is little more than "New Age 101" very basic.
Many New Agers charge exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for their "spiritual insights." Redfield's notion that people can eventually become beings of light is far removed from the historical, objective Jesus Christ who is true Light of the World (John 8:12).

 The Celestine Prophecy James Redfield
The Celestine Prophecy was the biggest-selling book in the world from 1996-99.

 Why The Celestine Prophecy is all wrong about the ancient Mayans
In Redfield's bestseller, The Celestine Prophecy, we are told about a mysterious manuscript, found in Peru, that portends to offer numbered insights into the meaning of life.
He could have made the manuscript Mayan, because the Maya had a complex written language and, although we know of only a few codices that survived the purges of the conquistadors, the possibility that a Spanish priest or fortune hunter squirreled away a Maya manuscript in Peru is at least plausible.
As for the philosophical message offered in The Celestine Prophecy, I'd like to suggest a book that may be slightly more challenging to the intellect, but which provides more "insightful" explanations of the concepts Redfield presents.

 Skeptic's Dictionary: reader comments Celestine Prophecy
Having ‘escaped’ from a Pentecostal upbringing, many of my friends have suggested reading The Celestine Prophecy, with comments such as, ‘it will really help you out,’ or ‘help you make sense of things.’ I am half way through it, but find, through sheer boredom, that I can go no further.
The ideals espoused in The Celestine Prophecy are not open-minded.
I believe they are a retreat to an archaic, superstitious belief system where people who are insecure about themselves and their place in the world, who need to believe in something greater than themselves to give their life meaning, can hide.
